Pulled the trigger on this plane and should be arriving tomorrow. Plan is to drop in a UMS 5-75 radial with the hope of not add any extra ballast to the nose.
If guys a installing a saito r60 this engine is only 10 mm larger in diameter so it should fit. I will know for sure when it arrives.
plan on doing complete reinforcing wher needed and LED navigation lights to scale. And if all goes well in spring for maiden... may be a smoke system.

The UMS at 162 mm in length is somewhat shorter than the SAITO at 168.5 mm.

So mine showed up yesterday and I was impressed with the quality of this warbird. My only issue was the tip of the rudder was cracked at the seam. It appears that it was never glued in and the only thing holding it in place was the covering.
Not a big deal though. Going to get into things in more depth tonite

EGAD,,,unboxed my f8f this morning...no rudder! I think ill need one of those eventually. Also the canopy was scratched on the top. Id prefer to do that myself. The fake radial plate was in 3 pieces. I had planned on using that as a baffel for the saito radial. Im sure Motion will do good with all this. Did like the covering and finish and like that the retracts were installed but still have to see if they work.
